10 Minor keys Every major key has a relative minor key that oens u a dierent sound-world; this is oten more melancholy, mysterious, or even menacing in character. To ind the relative minor o any major key, count down a semitone and then a tone rom the key note. Conversely, the relative major is a tone and a semitone higher than its relative minor. major key minor key V ˆ ˆ ˆ semitone tone major key minor key V # ˆ ˆ ˆ semitone tone major key minor key Vb ˆ ˆ ˆ semitone tone Originally rom a medieval mystery lay, the Coventry Carol is a lullaby in which Mary sings esus to slee and laments erod s resolve to kill all babes-in-arms. It is in the key o A minor, the relative minor o C major; thus, no key signature is used, but the accidentals (articularly shars) give the minor key its characteristic lavour. Accidentals are not normally written again when a note is tied, so the C shar (and the A) are simly held on through the inal three bars. mesto sorrowul F F V Andante 34 mesto Š Š #Š Š ŠŠŠ Š #.

53 Nann s Maske is an anonymous dance rom a seventeenth-century collection o harsichord ieces called Elizabeth Rogers Virginal Book (a virginal is a small harsichord). As harsichords could not achieve dynamic contrast, ornaments were requently used to give colour to the musical line. In the original there is an ornament on every beat, which would have been easier to lay on the virginal, with its light touch, than on the resent day iano. We have indicated just a ew embellishments, but we suggest you learn the iece without them irst so the rhythm is clear in your mind. We have also added suggestions or dynamics and hrasing.
